Periodically, we receive requests from various missionaries for Mass vestments and/or church/chapel items, etc. Ever since the very first issue of this Newsletter, several years ago, we have never once directly requested help or donations for anything. The primary focus of this Newsletter is news, information, education, and spiritual and moral values, as well as information concerning Prayers, Novenas, Masses, etc., plus some humor to cheer up people.
But missionaries of the Catholic Church do need help, especially today, and most especially when one realizes that there are other missionaries from other religions, who frequently seem to be much better financed, trying to convert the same person, or groups of people, to their non-Catholic religion. Such Catholic missionaries of the Catholic Church need the proper tools to do God's holy work, wherever they may be.
Therefore, do you know any churches and/or chapels which might have some extra Mass vestments or church/chapel items which they would like to donate to us?
We have already shipped whatever extra items we had at our own expense. But there is still a need for much more of such things. This includes such things as Mass vestments, Mass kits, chalices, ciboria, monstrances, candle holders, altar cloths, other altar linens, altar stones, crucifixes, statues, pictures, cassocks (both for Priests and Altar servers), surplices (both for Priests and Altar servers), kneelers, and books of all kinds, including prayer books and missals (Altar size and hand size), hymnals, plus rosaries and devotional books, etc. which have also been requested.
Since we now have to turn down requests because we have already given what we were able to give, we decided to ask for help from anyone who can do so who reads this Newsletter. Also, any cash donations to help purchase such items, would also be appreciated. It would also help to cover the cost of shipping these things. You can make your check payable to: Cordi-Marian Fathers.
In return, I will personally include, in all of my Masses for one full year, everyone who donates any item(s) and/or money to this Mission Program, as my own way of showing my personal thanks and gratitude to each person who directly helps this Mission Program in some way. This full year of Masses also includes everyone who personally contacts churches and/or chapels and who get donations of these kinds of items. Such people would then ship them to us, postage paid, by the U.S. Mail or by U.P.S. or by Federal Express.
I realize that these are difficult times for many people, as well as for many churches and chapels, but please remember that God is never outdone in generosity! God will reward everyone, in His time and in His way, who takes any direct part in this Mission Program, just as He has done to others over the last 1,900 years!
Please send the donated items, cash donations, etc. to:
